Core Plays

Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF/SF – MIL): $12,300 DraftKings, $11,400 FanDuel
There’s a strong possibility that Giannis goes nuclear against the Thunder on Friday, as they have given up the sixth-most FD points and the second-most DK points to opposing forwards this season. He’s fresh off a 47-point performance in Wednesday’s win over the Lakers and the only thing stopping him from blowing up is if this game turns into a blowout. Giannis is the perfect building block on Friday.

Jalen Brunson (PG/SG – DAL): $6,700 DraftKings, $6,500 Fanduel
We all know the drill by now — Luka Doncic sits out and Brunson turns into an elite fantasy option. Believe it or not, Brunson has actually had some standalone value this season even with the former in the lineup. Doncic is doubtful to suit up Friday, which should once again mean a hefty workload is coming Brunson’s way. In his last start without Doncic, he flirted with a triple-double in 36 minutes. A matchup against the Suns should help as well, as they have given up the third-most DK points to guards this season. Even though his ownership will likely be saturated, I’m still finding a way to plug him into my lineup(s).
